iPad Air, iPhone 6 and MacBook Apple Black Friday deals available as early as next week

The retina MacBook Pro is on sale on select partakers of Black Friday!

Black Friday is a tech lover's haven and, just as the fated day for the rising of the shopper's paradise is within everyone's reach, Apple enthusiasts should gear up for a good score of iPads, iPhones and all Apple goodies in more affordable prices and discounts.

According to Apple Insider, just like any other store partaking in the event, Apple Stores will open early — 8 a.m. or 9 a.m. — giving customers an hour more to pick and purchase Apple devices. However, the tech giant has yet to confirm its special offers for the day. Good thing though is that loads of retailers have already made known all their special promotions and sweet deals Apple lovers can take advantage of.

Sam's Club is on big discount galore starting Nov. 15. With a contract, a buyer can get an iPhone 6 that is $100 cheaper, making the devices' price tags at $99 (16 GB), $199 (64 GB), and $299 (128 GB). Sam's Club is also offering a 16 GB model of the original iPad Air for $299. That's another $100 slash from the original retail price. The catch though is that there are only a limited number of units to seize, so users who want to avail of the offer should storm into the nearest Sam's Club outlet by 7 a.m.

Apple accessories are also on sale. The Jawbone Up24 is being offered by Sam's Club for $69.98, that's $60 off the original price. With even an extra band, the Fitbit Flex now costs $79.98. That's a $55 price drop.

The iPad Air and the iPad Minis are also prepped up for a lower shell out. Best Buy offers a whopping $200 price-cut for these devices. The costs of the 64 GB model of the iPad Air ranges from $499.99 (Wi-Fi only) to $629.99 (Cellular Verizon and AT&T). The 64 GB model of the iPad Mini 2 is at $399 (Wi-Fi only) and $529.99 (Cellular). The 128 GB version is at $499 (Wi-Fi only) and $629 (Cellular).

Walmart strips $50 off the price of the original 16 GB Wi-Fi-only iPad Mini, which can now be bought for $199.

On the other hand, Amazon is surprisingly offering a discounted Retina iMac with 1 TB storage capacity and 3.5 GHz processor for only $2,449 after a $50 discount.

Best Buy, along with Adorama and B&H Photo, has more Apple offers and this time, it involves the 2014 Retina MacBook Pro. The retail giant cuts $124, giving the 13-inch edition (8 GB RAM and 256 GB storage capacity) Mac system a $1,374.99 price tag. Adorama and B&H Photo offer a 128 GB version for $1,199.99 ($100 off) and a 512 GB version for $1,699.99 ($100 off). The 15-inch (16 GB RAM and 256 GB storage) Retina MacBook Pro is made $200 lower by Best Buy, making it a $1,799.99 purchase. To top it all off, Best Buy also placed a $20 to $40 price cut for Western Digital portable hard drives.

Apple accessories also received price markdowns. Groupon has a few good offers to heed including the Dr. Dre Earbud headphones for $79.99 ($70 discount) and Speck MacBook Cases for MacBook Pro and MacBook Air priced at $19.99 ($30 discount). The Agloves Touchscreen Winter Gloves are priced $7.99 ($18 discount) and Scosche's Premium Earphones is only for $18.99 ($60 discount).

A JBL onBeat mini iPhone/iPad Speaker Dock is now for $30 ($69 discount), thanks to retailer, Meh.

Black Friday falls on Nov. 28 this year. Better gear up for the best shopping festivity because in three weeks, the lists of promos will be made longer and more fantastic.
